The Monkey

So if it's considered logical and reasonable to murder all the handicapped in the society for the sake of science (say, study their brain or something), we should do it? Unless you considerer doing that illogical or unreasonable, in which case you equate these two terms with ethics anyway.

In fact, by saying that "logic and reason" should guide science, you yourself have taken a moral stance in regards to what science should be working at and what goals it should try to achieve. In decision we make we apply our morals, as guided by our ethics. Indeed, the very decision to be conducting science in the first place is a moral decision.

Ethics if the backbone of every human society and transcends all aspects of it. To think that science should be excluded from this is not only impossible (considering that it would be an aimless search for nothing), but if attempted would lead to a practice that can only be described as outright nihilistic.
